@elonmusk;@jason;@chamath As a US Senator for the last 13yrs, your "leadership" is accountable for a US National Debt that has increased from $16.433 trillion on the day you were sworn in, to $39.016 trillion today. As the leader of Tesla for a similar period, Elon Musk has grown value from an IPO market cap of $2.2 Billion to about $1.35 TRILLION today. You employ many of the 7 deadly sins; Pride, Envy, and Wrath. Elon Musk employs American workers. Happy Easter!

Elon Musk has 6.5 MILLION times more wealth than the typical American. It’s time for a wealth tax — billionaires must pay their fair share.

@JonesDanny @AdamFrank4 The Great Global Warming Swindle premiered on March 8, 2007. Dozens of scientists interviewed in this documentary did not agree that the "science is settled". You can watch them for yourself. youtu.be/oYhCQv5tNsQ?si…

Adam Frank (@AdamFrank4) is an astrophysicist and one of the world's clearest thinkers on climate change. And he says the public debate about the Earth's climate has NOTHING to do with science. This is why all "climate experts" seem to disagree about what's happening to global temperatures:

@texasrunnerDFW @PatriotLiv If I had to guess....I'd say, "its because Florida has the 3rd largest population in the USA". I'd also bet that 1. California and 2. Texas are probably close. attomdata.com/news/market-tr…

The state of Florida has the highest number of new foreclosure filings so far in 2026 Insurance Costs? Airbnb gone wrong? Remote work called back to office?

@Chrismedi0 @FranciscoPoleoR Amazingly...the bridge connects to a tunnel under the ocean to PortMiami. Cargo leaves the port through the tunnel, and onto I-95 without a traffic signal or stop sign. So far, they haven't found a way to load shipping containers on the MetroRail or MetroMover.

@FranciscoPoleoR Don't worry 😉 we have a massive billion dollar bridge coming soon. We need a grand central metro mover expansion located at the Airport that expands to the county.

Miami urgently needs to invest in mass transit if they’re serious about becoming the next great metropolis in the country. But that clashes with the people who actually run the city because they own the political system: the big car dealers and the developers who build the infrastructure for those cars.

@RealMikeSchall There is a Metrorail stop at Civic Center with a dedicated shuttle on game day that chauffeurs you to the front gate. If you go to a Marlins home game (of which there are 81 per year), you'd see the signs advertising this. Sounds like you are new to Miami. Welcome!

Imagine you could just take metrorail. We spent almost $2 billion on this stadium btw

@StatisticUrban Is it really....

Florida has extremely low median incomes when you normalize for cost of living. It's not really surprising to me that its growth is tapering off.

@30kmillionFLA $800 million (gov't estimate) PLUS $9m (gov't estimate) a year? Are the riders going to pay $75 per ticket each way?

Rail transit from MIA to the Port of Miami? 🤔

@elonmusk Is that the the Son of Captain Kangaroo?

Probability of me getting a fair trial if this is how the judge dresses is 0.0%

@StatisticUrban Everyone has got an opinion...

Florida's domestic migration figure has collapsed by 93% since 2022. It went from +310,892 people to +22,517 in 2025. On the verge of being outright negative.

@JedKolko @paulg Right... Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.

Miami is the new San Francisco, with the highest out-migration rate of all large metros.

@RealMikeSchall @growingmiami What's wrong with busses? Not good enough for you? History proves that they don't go extinct or derail after a hurricane.

@growingmiami Glorified bus.

Miami once had a reliable, efficient streetcar system - quietly moving thousands downtown, to Miami Beach, Coral Gables, and beyond. In 1940, the city voted to scrap it. Replaced by buses after hurricanes damaged tracks, the Great Depression crushed ridership, and heavy pressure from auto giants like General Motors and Big Oil pushed diesel buses and cars to drive their profits. Big government mistake. Those high-capacity electric rails were far more efficient and higher-volume than buses and personal vehicles. Ditching them fueled endless sprawl, jammed our roads, and created the gridlock nightmare hardworking Floridians battle daily. Hindsight is brutal: Imagine Miami moving smoothly today - no endless traffic jams - if we'd kept those proven, American-built electric lines running. Time to cut the red tape, revive what actually worked, and Make Transportation Great Again. #Miami #MiamiHistory #transit #urbanism

Building owners, and the association they elect, SHOULD have reserves in account for repairs. It should be obvious that elevators, roofs, HVAC, concrete/stucco, does not last forever. Old condominiums, like old houses, and old cars need to be maintained. A well informed (or well-represented) buyer would never buy in a building whose maintenance has been deffered or whose reserve account is underfunded.

@Liathetrader Condos in 2010 aren’t subject to Florida mandated ‘milestone’ inspections, and the ridiculous assessments that come with them .. the older condo buildings in Florida have been hating life since the surfside condo tower collapse years ago..

INTERESTING STATS ON MIAMI: Miami Dade median Condo price: $415K, down 8% YOY Condos built post 2010, median price: $715K, up 15% YOY, and at an ATH. This illustrates the divide in performance btw new & old condo inventory. Miami now has the highest concentration of millionaires in the nation. Market divergence will continue. Segmentation is critical.

Not really. Turns out that most 20 year old things are worth more than 40 year old things. Especially condominiums, roofs, elevators, HVAC systems, plumbing, etc. New things cost a lot more than used things. All responsibe property owners (condo assocs) have reserves to pay for aging property maintenance, and always have. The FL law NOW requires irresponsible property owners (condo assocs) to get responsible.

@dax_mccaskill yep that's why.

@DetroitOnLion Moves like Barry

don't mind me. just watching this over and over and over again

Wrong. I bought a house at w/ a 4.5% 30yr fixed and 20% down in 2021. Rates started rising, and my value doubled. Rents also increased 6% per year over the last 5 years. Leverage works when asset values increase. The leveraged downpayment cash is up about 468% today from the closing date. That initial downpayment equity invested in the S&P is up 52% (not counting for capital gains taxes). Buying a home is like planting a tree...the best time to do it is 20 years ago, the next best time is today. Just buy wisely.

@notime2exercise Leverage only works if rates are falling

Buy a house or rent + investing Who wins?

"Most European countries"? MIA has multiple direct flights to 14 European countries (If you count Turkey in Europe). Who needs direct flights to "most" Euro countries. If business requires a trip to a population less than Miami MSA's 6.5m, it's okay to take a connector. Pro tip for Hong Kong: Fly the 11pm to Zurich. Sleep through the night. Arrive in the morning, relax. Work a bit. Eat well. Relax. Get back on the late evening flight to Asia and sleep through the night. Well-paid-Pro tip. Fly private. The Exec terminal is less than 20 minutes from downtown.

@rabovitz How is it ideally positioned? Have you tried flying to most European countries from Miami? You won’t be going direct! Let’s not even get started on traveling to Asia.

The case for why #Miami and #Florida are, and will be, awesome strategic hubs for tech (a thread): (1) Miami is ideally positioned with respect to the overall Americas, Europe, and Africa.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/… Palantir is a $300B+ company. About 500 employees will move. There isn't much vacancy in downtown Miami for a turnkey operation now. As Bloomberg reported, the search for dedicated space in Miami has been ongoing. The buildout will take months. Aventura co-work space makes sense...Miami doesn't have 10,000+ sq ft of co-work space as a stopgap measure.

Palantir: "WE ARE MOVING TO MIAMI!!!" **Gets a desk at a co-working spot in Aventura** 😂😂😂

We have moved our headquarters to Miami, Florida.

Okay, I read the link in Bestie Gersten's post for you. A 529 can only be used for education. A Trump Account can be used for - Buying a business - first time home purchase - relocation expenses - or rolled into a retirement account. 529's are great, especially since annual contributions are not as limited. Trump Accounts only allow $5,000 per year, whether it's from an employer, parent, friend, or family member.

@altcap This is misleading . If you don’t have a newborn, it’s much better to open a 529 for them. Feel free to fact check.

On this President’s Day - if you have a child under 18, take 2 mins to claim their life long investment account! The Invest America Act - every child forevermore a direct shareholder in the grt companies of America! 🇺🇸🚀trumpaccounts.gov

@RONNIEGTV @champtgram Flamingo is in the City of Miami Beach (not pictured) and not in Miami.

@champtgram Got to be the Flamingo.

Yesterday I posted that an apartment building in Miami is hiding a HUGE mold problem, illegally refusing mold testers entry, and faking negative mold tests In the past 24H I have had 100+ people reach out suffering the same (many guessing the exact building) Justice is coming.
